Close games almost guaranteed when Governors and Eagles battle

Morehead, KY – If it is Austin Peay and Morehead State, a close game almost is assured.

Three of the last four games have been decided in overtime, including the December 21st battle won by the Govs, 86-85, in Clarksville. Last year’s game at Ellis T. Johnson Arena was decided in overtime. That will be the site of Saturday’s 6:15 pm clash.

Morehead, KY – Austin Peay women’s basketball team will wrap up the January portion of its schedule with a 4:00pm (CT), Saturday, Ohio Valley Conference contest against Morehead State at Johnson Arena.

Austin Peay never trailed by more than seven points in the contest but held the lead for less than four minutes total. The Lady Govs lost both the rebounding (41-42) and turnover (19-16) battles, but it was the seven point free-throw differential (9-16) that proved too much to overcome.

Clarksville, TN – Legal documents, such as old, notarized deeds of trust, aren’t usually considered poetic or offer much in the way of aesthetics. The crinkled, yellow pages provide straightforward information about who owns what and where.

But artist and Austin Peay State University drawing professor Billy Renkl views these old papers differently. He sees an entire world of deep, contradictory meanings arising when he uses the documents as a canvas for his pen and ink. «Read the rest of this article»
